lakland skyline 55-01 with bartolini NTMB

[1878]

Hi, does anyone know if a lakland skyline 55-01 with bartolini NTMB is suited to playing metal or does it lean more towards jazz style?

Ta in advance,
Mark.

With the 2 humbuckers and 3 band EQ it should be capable of either really.

+1 - Mine will do both with ease - and the authority of the low B is amongst the very best I've heard from an off the shelf bass.

It should cover most things... and like said before, the scale length gives a nice low B.

Im pretty sure these aren't humbuckers in the 55-01.
I had one and upgraded the pre to a NTMB and i used to get hum if i sat too near a CRT monitor or lighting rig.
Although you still have the three band EQ you also have a mid range selector (i had a switch on the front of mine) and that seems to open up the EQ options quite a bit.

I could get a really nice, clanky rock tone from them though.
